Training

Public and Community Psychiatry Fellowships

Public and Community Psychiatry Fellowships provide training in
psychiatric leadership, recovery oriented services, advocacy, and
program evaluation/services research. An expanding list of programs
(now numbering 16) has been created, mostly in the past decade.
Providing a combination of didactic and field experiences, these 1-2
year post-residency fellowships represent the gold standard for
preparing psychiatrists for leadership roles in organizational
settings, whose funding largely derives from public sources. Since, as
revealed in a recently published survey of APA members, early and
mid-career psychiatrists now spend more time in such publicly-funded
organizational settings than in private practice, the value of training
dedicated to working in these settings is becoming increasingly clear
to psychiatric residents as they become early-career psychiatrists.
While most fellows enter these programs immediately following
residency, they are equally suitable for early and mid-career
psychiatrists.
